Offender in toddler sexual assault made to sign a bond

Mpraeso, March 16, GNA - A Circuit Court at Mpraeso, presided over by Mr Alex Owusu Ofori, has ordered a 32-year-old unemployed to sign a bond to be of good behaviour for 12 months or in default go to prison for 24 months for indecently assaulting a three-year-old girl.

The unemployed, Kwabena Yeboah, pleaded guilty to the charge of indecent assault.

Detective Inspector, Christian Apronti, the prosecutor, told the court that both complainant and Yeboah lived at Akim Asunafo, near Anyinam, and at about 1000 hours on February 19, while the girl's parents were not home, the accused lured her into his room and "used his male organ to brush her vagina."

He said the victim reported Yeboah's conduct to her mother who made a complaint to the Abomosu Police. A medical form was, subsequently, issued to the victim for medical examination. The examination, however, showed no sign of penetration. The prosecutor said after investigations, Yeboah was charged with defilement.
